Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Quietly

Although most of this street block consists of artsy small shops and eateries, it’s not devoid of shopping centers.

Right in the center of the block sits a small shopping center, spanning just three floors, which is somewhat unusual. Calling it a shopping center might even seem a bit inappropriate due to its internal style and layout, which bear some resemblance to a typical mall.

However, it doesn’t have many clothing or jewelry stores; instead, it is filled with food vendors. So, rather than a shopping center, it could better be described as a Food City dressed up as a mall.

Su Lu had brought Zhao Xiaole here. There were many delicious options to choose from, which ensured that Zhao Xiaole wouldn’t be too disappointed about missing out on the desserts from earlier.

"Come on, don’t sulk," Su Lu coaxed.

Although she knew her son wasn’t really mad, children’s moods are simple and transparent, so she could still perceive his disappointment.

Zhao Xiaole glanced at her, "Then... can I have two desserts?"

"In your dreams," Su Lu laughed.

Zhao Xiaole’s lips continued to pout.

Su Lu thought for a moment, then patted her son on the head and smiled, "But you can have two bites of mine."

Zhao Xiaole’s eyes lit up, "Deal!"

He didn’t actually have the appetite for two portions, but people are sometimes like that—curious about how another variety might taste if one is good.

For Zhao Xiaole, this proposal from Su Lu was perfectly fitting.

Su Lu took him to a snack shop that sold both skewers and desserts. The shop was nicely decorated and had the air conditioning blasting, making it very cool inside.

"Sweetie, sit here and hold our spot while I go order," Su Lu instructed Zhao Xiaole to sit near the entrance, where it was less chilly to prevent him from catching a cold.

Zhao Xiaole obediently stayed where he was placed, not wandering around.
